His 181St Second (Laverne and Marina) novel Chapter 404

Chapter 404

Chloe walked over to Zara with a gentle smile. Seeing Zara about to leave, she gently took her hand, her eyes warm and

incere.

Ms. Blanchard, just so happens I need to talk to Garret, too. Come with me, Chloe said.

Zara was about to refuse when Chloe pushed open the half–closed door to Garret’s office,

Ms. Finley, Garret,” Chloe greeted them.

Zara gritted her teeth inwardly and forced herself to stand next to Chloe.

Garret and Marina both looked up at Zara at the same time.

Jnlike Garret, who kept watching Zara, Marina just glanced at Zara before looking away, with no intention of putting her on he spot.

Garret let out a quiet sigh.

He said softly, “Zara, if you have something to say, say it. No need to be so reserved. This isn’t the Zamora mansion. As long is it’s about work, you can speak your mind.”

Garret figured Zara’s awkwardness came from years of living as a guest at the Zamora mansion, which had left her feeling self–conscious.

Zara bit her lip and nodded.

‘It’s really nothing. I just wanted to ask where Daron went. He hasn’t come to the office. I saw you were busy, so I didn’t want o interrupt,” she said softly.

Carret replied in a gentle voice, “Mr. Zamora’s out on a business trip. If you need anything, let me know.”

Zara lowered her head. “Alright, Garret.”

Carret let out a quiet sigh and said softly, “Mr. Zamora’s out on a business trip. If you need anything, let me know.”

Zara looked up at Garret, a trace of confusion flickering in her eyes, but she nodded anyway

‘Alright, I understand,” she said.

Garret gestured dismissively, his tone flat, clearly not caring about Zara’s feelings at all.

“If you get it, get back to your desk, Garret said.

Zara nodded.

Marina just sat there, cool and collected, didn’t even look at Zara once.

Zara bit down on her lip, leaving Garret’s office with her heart feeling like it was trapped under a boulder. She could barely

breathe.

She’d figured Marina would rat her out to Garret, or maybe toss some snark her way as soon as she walked in. She’d braced

herself for all of it.

But what really threw her was that it was Garret who ended up giving her a hard time.

Marina sat there like a complete bystander, not even acknowledging Zara’s presence. It was as if she didn’t exist to her at all.

All the emotions Zara had been stewing inside fell apart.

She never expected Garret, who used to be so warm and easygoing with her, to turn so strict.

Right in front of Chloe and Marina, he didn’t spare her any dignity at all.

If the pitiful look she put on in front of Daron’s office was an act, leaving Garret’s office this time, she truly felt wronged, and there was a sting of humiliation she couldn’t shake.

Zara had never dared to cross Garret, not even once.

She knew better than anyone what kind of power and status Garret actually held in the Zamora family.

Garret treating Zara like that right before Marina was like grinding her dignity onto the floor, making Zara feel so small that she couldn’t even look up.

After Zara left, Chloe watched her go, not reacting at all.

She grabbed a seat next to Garret and joined him to go over Marina’s proposal.

Half an hour later, Marina left Garret’s office and made her way back to her desk.

She’d finished up her work for the day and had told Garret she’d be heading to the Finley Group soon.

So when she got back to her desk, Marina started packing up her things.

Bella looked up from her computer and glanced at Marina.

“You heading out already?” Bella asked.

Marina kept her tone cool as she replied. “I’ve got something I need to step out for.”

Bella asked, “Heading out for a project?”

Marina nodded. “Yeah.”

After everything that had happened, Bella had a clear sense of what Marina’s status was at the Zamora Group

Bella thought, ‘Marina isn’t an official employee. She is here for an internship or training

Mr. Zamora and Mr. Finley were old classmates, so when Mr. Finley sent his sister Marina over to learn from Mr. Zamora, there was no way Mr. Zamora would turn him down.

Besides, it seems like Mr. Zamora has a real fondness for Marina

‘Otherwise, he wouldn’t be personally guiding Marina

‘After all….

‘Mr. Zamora never even takes Zara under his wing

Bella chatted with Marina for a bit, then got back to work.

Marina finished packing up and was about to grab her bag when Calista got up from her seat and handed her a file.
